BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | Attractive lime-green color, then aromatics from the pine forest, evocative, warming, and pungent. A touch of evolution on the palate, failing to provoke anxiety such is the reach of resourceful and entirely natural acidity and the persuasive weight of fruit, almost tannic, the ensemble gastronomically more than friendly. A fine balletic finish is etched on to the ensemble with lapidary purity. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Full gold. This is slightly weightier and more full-on than the other Promara [Tsiakkas Winery Promara Lemesos Cyprus 2018], but not unattractive: a big embrace of soft- contoured summer-orchard fruits. It’s even more concentrated on the palate, denser, with a saltier style, making this a difficult pair to mark. [Tsiakkas Winery Promara Lemesos Cyprus 2018] has an aromatic finesse that this wine lacks, yet in terms of weight, depth, and drive to sip this is a more exciting wine perhaps to sit down with at table. | 89

Demetri Walters | Quite herbal on the nose and somewhat restrained on the palate. But the fruit emerges on the palate. There’s a refreshingly green sappiness to this wine that works well with the stone fruit. Notable freshness plumped out by marked extract and a little tannic grip. Very satisfying. | 92
